Post by: trainsdownunder on January 01, 2014, 09:42:21 PM
Interesting site which claims to give info on comparing countries - Not going to go into debate which is better. Let you lot do the arguing.

And lets not forget most of Australia is uninhabitable so that map does not work.   :bounce:

That's because the Australians are still upset with Iceland and the Scandanavian countries for finishing above them in the London 2012 Olympics  :laugh3:

When I click on the link I don't like the "die 2.56 years sooner" and make almost "10% less money" bit.  Don't like the sound of 40% more chance of being unemployed either.  Are the white bits the leftovers free we should still banish undesirables to LoL

...only joking but don't understand the question.

At one time you could be sent to Oz free for stealing a turnip. But on the basis of what we see in Neighbours, and Home and Away, there are only three ugly women in Australia, and the rest wear hardly any clothes, whilst the men aren't up to keeping the women for more than about three months. So seems like they need an influx of real Brit blokes. Seeing as it's peeing down with rain here and freezing cold when do we go - but not to the bit where you get alligators come into your garden to eat your cat.

You just need to nick a Turnip! that's your ticket booked then let us know how it works out and i'll start packing the layout.

Tony

p.s with all that 'extra space' available can we not just ship all the new influx of Eastern Europeans we are supposed to be getting...Because if History and rumour repeats itself they will soon be following for nicking more than a Turnip!

BTW, (and in light of Bealman's last comment),  I just wish to point out to the membership that the 'Better class of people' live 1200 miles to the East  - with not a convict anywhere to be seen ....  :) :) 

Just thought it should be said...... :)

If enough of our male population visited Australia would they come back knowing which end of a cricket bat to hold.

No, they're only the advance guard.   ;D

As one of our PM's once noted: 'New Zealander's emigrating to Australia raise the IQ of both countries...'   :claphappy:

Which is of course, why you got Sir Joe.....  :hmmm:

That presupposes then, that the female population of the UK are already in possession of that information.... :angel:

One wonders....  :hmmm:

Umm New Zealand achieved 26 all out in 1955, Australia were once all out for 36 and England's worst ever is 45 (Against Australia - and they still beat them!)

15 for 5 is bad but there is worse 8)
